Lukho Mkwedi Phuthi wraps the show with Blessing Ndabula discussing the topic of Black Tax. They explain that Black Tax refers to the financial responsibility often carried by successful Black professionals who support less affluent family members. This support includes contributing to basic needs like education, healthcare, housing, and emergencies. It reflects a cultural practice rooted in Ubuntu—sharing and caring for extended family—but also creates financial and emotional burdens. The conversation highlights how Black Tax impacts wealth building and personal finances, especially for first-generation graduates, while also recognizing the deep sense of family obligation and communal support that underpins it.
